    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoadrenocorticism_in_dogs

    Hypoadrenocorticism in dogs, or, as it is known in people, Addison's disease, is an endocrine system disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands fail to produce enough hormones for normal function. The adrenal glands secrete glucocorticoids such as cortisol [ 1 ] and mineralocorticoids such as aldosterone ; [ 2 ] when proper amounts of these ...

    X-Ray image of a calcinosis cutis in a dog with pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism. Treatment of Cushing's depends on the cause. It is possible to cure Cushing's if the tumour is small, benign, and located on the adrenal gland; however, this is not common.

  4. Hypersomatotropism (veterinary) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersomatotropism...

    Imaging of the pituitary gland is important in confirming hypersomatotropism in cats where it is suspected. Showing a pituitary mass is important to establish a final diagnosis alongside clinical findings and hormonal findings. Knowing the size of the pituitary mass is also necessary to decide the best course of treatment.

  5. Hypothyroidism in dogs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothyroidism_in_dogs

    Hypothyroidism is classified as either primary, secondary, or tertiary. Primary hypothyroidism is for when the cause is due to an abnormality of the thyroid gland, secondary hypothyroidism is when the cause is decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone levels, and tertiary hypothyroidism is when the cause is an inadequate amount of thyrotropin-releasing hormone being released.

    Acromegaly (also known as hypersomatotropism) is a hormonal condition resulting from over-secretion of the growth hormone somatotropin [130] from the pituitary gland. [131] The hormone is responsible for growth from birth to adulthood. Normally in adulthood, the growth plates of the bones close and the secretion of the hormone slows considerably.

  7. Rathke's pouch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathke's_pouch

    Rathke's pouch is a sac-like structure that gives rise to the pars distalis, pars intermedia, and pars tuberalis of the pituitary gland. The cells of Rathke's pouch proliferate and differentiate into various hormone-producing cells, including Somatotrophs, Lactotrophs, Corticotrophs, Thyrotrophs, and Gonadotrophs.

  9. Dexamethasone suppression test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexamethasone_suppression_test

    Dexamethasone is an exogenous steroid that provides negative feedback to the pituitary gland to suppress the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Specifically, dexamethasone binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the anterior pituitary gland, which lie outside the blood–brain barrier, resulting in regulatory modulation. [3]
